The Dallas Cowboys have a laundry list of roster needs thanks to an odd free agency approach that saw a host of players walk out the door with no replacements coming back the other way.
As Dak Prescott’s contract situation now takes center stage for the entire offseason and likely regular season, the Cowboys couldn’t add pieces to the roster in an attempt to make it better in hunt for that elusive Super Bowl trophy.
Although this was a clear choice the front office made.
Offensive line looms as the biggest need for Dallas in the draft with Tyron Smith (Jets) and Tyler Biadasz (Commanders) leaving.
But for Eric Edholm of NFL.com, in his latest mock draft, the Cowboys don’t get Dak better protection, they get him a Michael Gallup replacement in LSU’s Brian Thomas Jr.
The Cowboys don’t have a ton of extra picks laying around, but I could see them being aggressive with Thomas surprisingly still on the board at this juncture,” Eholm writes.
“Dallas really needs to add pass-catching threats and might have to trade up to ensure landing one like this LSU product.
He’s an explosive talent who can help shield CeeDee Lamb from seeing so many tricked-up coverages.
